CARACTERÍSTICA

SJT Enterprises: Made in U.S.A. Doesn’t Have to Cost More

SJT Enterprises: Hecho en Estados Unidos No debe costar más caro

THERE’S A perception that goods that are made in the U.S.A. will be more expensive. Tim Smith, president of SJT Enterprises, enjoys proving that wrong. His company, which has been in business since 1985, creates wall decor of all kinds with the most popular being wooden plaques featuring various dog breeds. The company employs 22 people at its Westlake, Ohio headquarters. With books like “A Year Without Made in U.S.A.,” the story of one family’s attempt to boycott Chinamade products for a year; ABC News’ ongoing “Made in America” coverage by Diane Sawyer; and documentaries like

EXISTE UNA percepción que indica que los productos fabricados en los Estados Unidos son más costosos. Tim Smith, Presidente de SJT Enterprises, disfruta al probar que no es cierto. Su empresa, que funciona desde 1985, fabrica revestimientos para paredes de todo tipo con las placas de madera más populares que contienen diversas razas de perros. La compañía tiene 22 empleados en la sede de Westlake, Ohio. Gracias a libros como “A Year Without Made in U.S.A.” (Un año sin artículos fabricados en los Estados Unidos), que cuenta la

SJT Enterprises continued from page 34

“Made in the U.S.A.,” which profiles the rise and fall of U.S. manufacturing, the topic of American-made has become front-of-mind for many people. But cost is still an extremely important factor when it comes to customers’ purchasing patterns, and that’s where Smith has the winning formula. “I think there’s a lot of awareness out there and there are many people who would prefer to buy Americanmade—but awareness and action are two different things,” he says. “If you have two equivalent items side by side and there’s just a slight variation in price, people are going to go for the one that’s made in the U.S.” But there’s a point where price wins out. In the case of his company’s products, he says, “We’re able to offer Made in the U.S.A. at China prices. With wholesale costs from $2.97 to $7.49, they are clearly affordable and offer the same markup of two to three times the wholesale price.”

historia de una familia que intenta repudiar los productos fabricados en China durante un año; la cobertura de ABC News’ “Made in America” (Fabricado en América) de Diane Sawyer y documentales tales como “Made in the U.S.A.” (Fabricado en los Estados Unidos) que describe el ascenso y la caída de la fabricación en los Estados Unidos, el asunto de los productos fabricados por Estados Unidos se ha convertido en un tema central para muchas personas. Pero el costo es aún un factor extremadamente importante cuando se trata de los patrones de conducta de compra de los clientes y es allí donde Smith tiene la fórmula ganadora. “Creo que existe una gran conciencia allí afuera y hay muchas personas que prefieren comprar productos de fabricación estadounidense, pero la conciencia y la acción son dos cosas diferentes”, dice. “Si tiene dos elementos equivalentes juntos y hay

The plaques are made to order, something that also could not be done using mass manufacturing. Starting with domestic wood as the base, the images are digitally printed, the artwork is hand-applied, and then a piece of twine is added as hanger, giving them a country look. Items are shipped within three to four days. Though his customers run the gamut from gift stores to drug stores to resorts, he does have some that focus entirely in Americanmade products. Regardless, he says, “People like to see Made in U.S.A., especially at wholesale trade shows, where we find we’re only one of a few vendors who can make that claim. It always catches their interest and we get a lot of people who stop.” continued on page 37

solo una leve variación en precio, las personas elegirán aquel fabricado en los Estados Unidos”. Pero hay un punto donde gana el precio. En el caso de los productos de su compañía, afirma: “Podemos ofrecer productos fabricados en los Estados Unidos a los precios de China. Con costos de venta mayorista comprendidos entre $2.97 y $7.49, son claramente asequibles y ofrecen el mismo margen de dos a tres veces el precio mayorista”. Las placas se realizan a pedido, algo que no se podría hacer mediante fabricación en masa. Con el uso de la madera nacional como base, se imprimen imágenes en formato digital, se aplica el estampado a mano y, luego, se agrega un trozo de cuerda para colgar, aportando un aspecto campestre.

Sin embargo, dice: “A las personas les gusta ver la frase Made in U.S.A. (Fabricado en los Estados Unidos), en especial en exposiciones comerciales mayoristas, donde encontramos solo unos pocos vendedores con esas características. Los atrae siempre y mucha gente se detiene en nuestro puesto”.

Man’s best friend SJT Enterprises started making its popular dog plaques in the middle of the recession, and the concept just took off. “We just came up with the idea to make plaques with the different dog breeds. People are passionate about their dogs. They’re members of the family. And anything having to do with dogs sells.” Today, the dog plaques make up 90 percent of his business. “I never would have guessed they would have done so well,” he admits. “We like to say they’re literally recession-proof.” The three most popular sayings are “A House is Not a Home Without a (name of dog breed),” Love Is: Being Owned by a (name of dog breed),” and “A Spoiled Rotten (name of dog breed) Lives Here.” The company also wholesales dog breed note cards, memo boards, stickers, magnets, mini-scrolls,

and car signs with more than 75 images of dog breeds to choose from, plus generic images. There are also seasonal products, for a cherished holiday gift. But it doesn’t stop there. Customers can order from a selection of 15,000 plaques in all, with a library of 9,000 images of destinations across the country, from Cape Cod to California. Other categories include sports, wine, inspirational, trains, military, fire, police, RVs, camping, and more. Other products include keychains, humorous car signs with suction cups (known as the “Auto Attitude” line), “Year in History” certificates, and refrigerator and car magnets. That’s where the American-made concept is in sync with SJT Enterprises’ business model of made-to-order gifts. “Offering this many styles, there’s no other way it could be done economically,” says Smith.

vende”. En la actualidad, las placas de perros conforman el 90 % de su negocio. “Nunca me hubiera imaginado que se venderían tanto”, admite. “Nos gusta decir que son literalmente a prueba de la recesión”. Las tres frases más populares son “A House is Not a Home Without a [Una casa no es un hogar sin un] (nombre de la raza del perro),” Love Is: Being Owned by a [El amor es propiedad de] (nombre de la raza del perro),” y “A Spoiled Rotten [Aquí vive el malcriado (nombre de la raza del perro)”. La compañía además se dedica a la venta mayorista de papel de carta, pizarras, autoadhesivos, imanes, pequeños pergaminos y carteles para automóviles con más de 75 imágenes de razas de perros para elegir, además de imágenes genéricas. También hay productos de temporada, para un regalo navideño deseado. Pero hay más. Los clientes pueden realizar pedidos de una selección de 15,000 placas en total, con una biblioteca de 9,000 imágenes de todo el país, desde Cape Cod hasta California. Otras categorías incluyen deportes, vino, artículos inspiradores, trenes, militar, bomberos, policía, casas rodantes, campamento y más. Otros productos comprenden llaveros, carteles de humor para automóviles con ventosas (denominada la línea “Auto Attitude” [Actitud para el automóvil]), certificados “Año en la historia” e imanes para la heladera y el automóvil. Es allí donde el concepto fabricado en los Estados Unidos se sincroniza con el modelo empresarial de SJT Enterprises de regalos a pedido. “Debemos ofrecer todos estos estilos, no hay otra manera de hacerlo económicamente”, afirma Smith.

Healthy Feet Insoles Massage While You Walk

FIVE YEARS ago, Daniel Lemire was a salesperson working the trade show floor. “One day, my feet were killing me,� he remembers. “I ran into someone who was selling insoles and tried them in my shoes, and I just loved them.� That’s how Healthy Feet Solutions got its start. When he returned home, he started researching how he could make his own version and created his company. With so many insoles on the

market, what makes these different? The secret is in the liquid glycerin. While gel insoles offer padding, they’re static, not fluid. The material just stays in place. But Healthy Feet Solutions’ fluid technology is dynamic. It stimulates the blood flow and massages the feet, while absorbing the impact evenly. “They’re unlike anything else,� he says. “They just roll across the foot.�

NEW PRODUCTS Healthy Feet Insoles Massage While You Walk continued from page 40

The best way to understand the difference is to feel it. “Once people try them on, they just know,� he says. “They can’t believe the massage they get when they walk.� Also surprising is the thin profile of these insoles (just a couple of centimeters); many insoles are so thick that they can make women’s high heel shoes too tight.

Independent reps wanted Lemire is looking for independent representatives to sell Healthy Feet massaging insoles across the country at swap meets, flea markets, conventions, shows, malls—any setting where there are large groups of people walking around. Through the company’s independent rep program, representatives start with an initial package that includes everything they need: tent, signage, table and chairs, and 500 pairs of insoles. There’s no franchise fee to become a rep. “People can make great money doing this,� he says. “As they sell, they just need to call and we ship them more.�

Buying details Healthy Feet Insoles come in various styles: original, men’s and women’s golfers, military, and even flipflops. Retailers are asked to call for wholesale prices and quantities. Samples are available. The company also offers a warranty for two years; all customers need to do is register their purchase on the web site. â–

Bish Bish Shower & Back Scrub SARA SHOREES found inspiration for her company’s new shower and bath scrub while watching Rachael Ray on TV. “I was watching her show and she had a doctor on who was doing tests on shower scrubs and found a lot of bacteria, yeast, and fungus on people’s scrubs,” Shorees, CEO of Bish Bish, remembers. “His suggestion was to replace the scrubs every three weeks. I did that for a while, then I had an idea and crocheted something I could machine wash and bleach. I used that scrub for three years, then I decided to patent it and offer it for sale.”

The result is the Bish Bish exfoliating showed and bath scrub. Handmade from polyethylene food-grade plastic, the Bish Bish is machine washable and bleachable. A single Bish Bish will last for four years, without ever molding, smelling, or becoming infested with bacteria. “People who buy them come back and say they love them,” Shorees says. “Some people feel it and expect it to be rough because it’s made out of plastic. But it’s less rough than an exfoliating brush.” Introduced in April 2013, the Bish Bish has only been available so far directly from Shorees, who has been selling them at fairs in her region. Incredibly, even though she’s “doing it the old-fashioned way,” Shorees has hand-sold more than 8,000 Bish Bish scrubs. Now with manufacturing in place, the Bish Bish is ready to go national. continued on page 46

L&V Creations’ Quality Control Process Eliminates Skepticism L&V CREATIONS, like consumers in the U.S. and other countries, was skeptical about the quality of products from China. That’s when Luis Santoni, owner, came to the conclusion that in order to keep his company’s reputation he had to do something to overcome the problem. To do this, Santoni decided to implement a costly but effective new quality control process of taking every single product out the box to be inspected and tested. L&V Creations is a family owned company that offers plug in aroma lamps for aromatherapy. “This idea cost me a lot of money because I had to hire additional personnel to take the product out of box, check for damage, loose parts and blemishes. We also plug them in test them, not once but several times,� explains Santoni. “No one in the industry is doing anything like this.� If anything is damaged or loose it is repaired before it leaves the premises. The benefit, Santoni says, is that customers receive

Beach Tacs Keep Towels in Place MOST EVERYBODY loves beach season—except when it means fighting the wind to keep your towels in place and free of grit. A company called ACME Big Box Marketing, Inc., has fi nally figured out the perfect solution: BeachTacs. BeachTacs are stakes that hold a towel firmly in place on the sand w it hout pu nch i ng holes in the towel. The product’s appeal is its simplicity. As a bonus, each BeachTac set also comes with a built-in cup-holder. According to Pagona Kubert, vice president of sales, the first orders of BeachTacs were shipped in April 2014, and the product immediately took off. “Our market is anyone who goes to the beach,” Kubert says. The BeachTac has a special locking

stack that makes it special. BeachTacs were developed by Larry Freed, currently a partner in the company, almost 20 years ago. After sitting in his garage for all those years, the novel towel-holding system was patented and trademarked and put into production in the United States earlier this year. Each set of BeachTacs includes four locking stakes. One of the stakes has a built-in cup-holder that can accommodate a Solo cup or standard size drink can. The sets are delivered in carrying totes that double as beach totes, with a small protected pocket for keys or miscellaneous items like sunglasses or a wallet. continued on page 49

Both sectors are strong right now, and we cater to both high-fashion buyers and price-conscious buyers.” Today, SD Designer Handbags, operating as PursePros, offers a complete line of fashion handbags, backpacks, men’s bags, duffle bags, and canvas messenger bags and backpacks. The company both imports

Buying details PursePros products can be ordered from the company’s website. According to Farr, there’s a minimum purchase of $150 and only qualified retailers can get wholesale pricing. Retailers are qualified by showing a retail license. Shipping is not included in orders, because according to Farr, the savings are built into the company’s pricing.

ASD to Host New TV Show “The Big Pitch” With Kevin Harrington RECENTLY, ASD Las Vegas was approached with the idea of creating an ASD TV Shopping Show to air in top A & B television markets in late 2014.The goal of the innovation-themed program is to showcase ASD’s unique industry to millions of consumers and serve as a launching pad for new ASD exhibitor products. As a steppingstone to the TV project, ASD has forged an agreement with “The Big Pitch” with Kevin Harrington, which will produce an event at the upcoming ASD Show in Las Vegas-on Monday, August 4th and Tuesday, August 5th. Kevin Harrington is one of the original “Sharks” on ABC’s Shark Tank, as well as the founder of the company As Seen on tv.com. Mr. Harrington will be the featured panelist, along with a group of fellow marketing and product development professionals. The format of “The Big Pitch” event at ASD will be similar to that of the TV program. Qualified companies whose products are “ready for prime time” will privately pitch Kevin Harrington and the panel for 5 to 7 minutes-after which all participants will receive invaluable feedback, possible television exposure, video footage of the pitch for their own marketing efforts, and exposure through the attending media. A handful of standout products will have the opportunity to step into the spotlight and play a featured role in the ASD TV Home Shopping program.

He will respond to each applicant’s questions. “The Big Pitch” program is open only to ASD exhibiting manufacturers. Upon evaluation, products that meet the basic qualifications will be invited to participate. The investment to pitch Mr. Harrington and his fellow panelists is $550.00 for the first 25 companies, and $750.00 for each additional, to cover the cost of bringing in “The Big Pitch” team.
